stingray

Stingray gem for interfacing with the Riverbed Stingray loadbalancers.

Notes

git clone [email protected]:sammarx/stingray.git cd stingray rake build gem install pkg/stingray-0.0.1.gem

Create a config/stingray.yml as follows

url: <base url of stingray API>
user: <username for authentication>
password: <password for authentication>

The URL must be the full path to the Stingray REST endpoint - eg.

https://<stingray hostname>:<REST port>/api/tm/1.0/config/active/

PUT and DELETE operations will only work over HTTPS.

Set up a connection to the Stingray Load Balancer

Stingray.config(YAML.load(File.read('config/stingray.yml'))

Initialize a new pool

p=Stingray::Pool.new

Create a pool

p.create('test-pool')

Add a node (server) to the pool. Takes an array of hosts. The hosts must be reachable from the Load Balancer.

p.add_nodes_to_pool('[test1.example.com, test2.example.com]')

Save the pool. This sends a PUT request to the REST API. No changes to the pool will be commited until the pool is saved.

p.save

List all existing pools

p.pools => ["test-pool"]

Get a pool

p.pool('test-pool')

Delete a node (server) from the pool. Takes an array of hosts.

p.delete_nodes_from_pool('[test2.example.com]')

Delete a pool. This is an immediate action.

p.delete
